Un tributo a la maravillosa conexión que se establece entre humanos y animales. Después de que un devastador terremoto y un tsunami le hicieran perder el empleo, Kazumasa Nakagaki se dedica ahora a actividades ilícitas para poder pagar los cuidados que su madre necesita. Un día, delante de una konbini, un supermercado japonés abierto las 24 horas, se encuentra con un perro callejero famélico. Tamon, que al parecer así se llama, es listo y enseguida lo cautiva. Pronto empieza a considerar al animal como su ángel guardián. Pero el perro siempre mira hacia el sur. ¿Qué es lo que busca? ¿Adónde quiere ir? Tamon sigue un largo viaje que lo lleva a hogares muy diferentes, convirtiéndose en un regalo para todos aquellos que lo acogen en sus vidas. Galardonada con el prestigioso Premio Naoki, El chico y el perro es una lectura emotiva, intrigante y luminosa que consagra a este autor como una de las voces más interesantes del panorama literario actual.
Following a devastating earthquake and tsunami, a young man in Japan finds a stray dog outside a convenience store. The dog’s tag says “Tamon,” a name evocative of the guardian deity of the north. The man decides to keep Tamon, becoming the first in a series of owners on the dog’s five-year journey to find his beloved first owner, Hikaru, a boy who has not spoken since the tsunami. An agent of fate, Tamon is a gift to everyone who welcomes him into their life. At once heartrending and heartwarming, intimate and panoramic, suspenseful and luminous--and deepened in its emotion by the author’s mastery of the gritty details and hardscrabble circumstances that define the lives of the various people who take Tamon in on his journey--this bestselling, award-winning novel weaves a feel-good tale of survival, resilience, and love beyond measure.
